Subdomains within addon domains

[kwc]

Hello,

I'm attempting to create a subdomain within an addon domain. It works okay, but the directory itself ends up just below the primary domain's public_html directory. This presents some problems when I want to use the same subdomain name in multiple addons.

Is there a way to place the subdomain's directory within the addon domain's file structure instead?

For example, I want to have domains that look like this:

test.primarydomain.com
test.addondomain1.com
test.addondomain2.com

However, cpanel places 'test' in this location for all subdomains:
public_html/test

But I'd like it to be in these three locations:

public_html/test
public_html/addondomain1/test
public_html/addondomain2/test

Can this be done?

Thanks!
kwc

Am I the only one with this issue?

from my understanding, everything is built upon your main domain...the one you used when you signed up. I think that's how it has to be and i don't think that you can change it...I may be wrong thought

If you email support they should be able to change where the subdomains point too.

I think they are looking for a way to have the subdoamin of the add-on domain appear in the directory of the add-on domain...
Something like:
public_html
-- add-onDomain
-- -- add-onSubDomain
-- directory
-- directory

Instead of it being set up as:
public_html
-- add-onDomain
-- add-onSubDomain
-- directory
-- directory

But as to how to do that??? I do not know, and I'm not sure that BlueHost even allows it... Although, it would make sense to do so...

HTH!

Anybody had any luck with adding a subdomain to their addon domains yet?

yes I do it all the time

My God! THAT was helpful!

I don't get a drop-down list to be able to add the subdomain to my addon domain - I can only add it to my primary domain.

Any ideas?
